One can’t actually move a remote branch, but you can copy a branch and delete a branch, so…
Copy oldbranch in repo to newbranch.
git push {repo} {oldbranch}:heads/{newbranch}
Ex: git push origin foobranch:barbranch
renames foobranch to barbranch
Remove a remote branch: it’s all about the colon:
git push <remote_repo> :heads/<branch>
Example: git push origin :heads/some-branch removes some-branch from the remote repo (apparently git push origin :some-branch works as well).
This works for removing a tag as well: git push origin :sometag
